In Fatima with the pilgrims. Prayers in the night and in the basin strewn with lights.... And Our Lady of Fatima at my side.... In the morning, too, while Father Berti was here in the room.... And Mary spurred me to say the Rosary a great deal, for the Pope, the clergy, peace, and Italy. The Rosary is the valid defense of the Papacy, the Church, Peace, and our country. She said that for this reason She had appeared in Rome,323 and to rouse the incredulous, the indifferent, the hostile, and those opposed to the supernatural - the incredulous in regard to the Work, too, which is “the glory of her Son and in which there is salvation for many.”
323 At the Three Fountains, mentioned at length on December 31, 1947.
